Is it unreasonable to expect 10th grade Geometry students to.....

learn, memorize, and be able to apply all the formulas for the individual chapter tests and then for the midterm and final?
Edit: Just to clarify, I don't think it is unreasonable at all.

Not unless the tenth grader in question is an idiot.

It kinda seems like the hole point too me.

Geometry in 10th grade? I did that shite in like 8th. I was doing trig and pre-cal in 10th.
But yes a 10th grader should definitely be able to do that.

Probably so, depending on number and complexity expecting kids to recall in December 15 formulas including 4 learned in September is a bit much

The more we drop our education standards the dumber we become as a country.
We had to learn it so no.

I didnt take Geometry until 11th grade and i could not memorize anything

Jac you only in the 10th grade?

Not unreasonable.
However the only practical value for ability to work problems on standardized tests for college.
Not really much use in prep.
There is entirely too much rote memorization in school IMO. But that's just me.

It's probably unreasonable to expect 10 graders to do very much at all given that they don't have much of a clue.

i find that most people tend to meet whatever expectations you make for them.
if they don't, hold them back i guess. i think school after a certain point is overrated for some people. if a tenth grader can't digest geometry i don't think they will gain anything more from the later math classes in hs. send them to a technical school or one of the arts if they show proficiency there IMO.
college for sure is not right for a large percentage of people.
